A tax dependent is an individual, usually a child or relative, whom a taxpayer can claim on their tax return, potentially qualifying for various tax benefits. To be considered a dependent, the individual must meet specific criteria set by the IRS, including relationship, residency, age, and support tests. Typically, dependents can help taxpayers reduce their taxable income through exemptions or credits. Understanding the rules for claiming dependents is crucial for maximizing tax benefits.
